'Standing for Something' Still Tops LDS Bestseller List
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The paperback version of LDS Church president
Gordon B. Hinckley's book, "Standing for Something" remained at the
top of the LDS bestseller list, and the rest of the list remains
basically the same, including new books by Neal A. Maxwell and James
E. Faust. In addition, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's most recent book
joined the list. This week Mormon News' LDS bestseller lists reflects
sales from a total of 50 bookstores for the first time.
Meanwhile, the two books that have stayed longest on the national
lists, Stephen E. Ambrose's "Nothing Like it in the World" and
Stephen R. Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" actually
expanded their presence on the lists. They were joined by Covey's
son, Sean Covey, who's book "Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens"
appeared again on Publisher's Weekly's Children's lists.
The current titles on US National bestseller lists are:
